No. I rebooted the whole machine (mouse wasn't
clicking). Then I reset security on the old directory. I
was now able to delete everything.
When you reboot the computer does that also stop and
restart IIS? I did stop and restart IIS before I created
the new Home Directory. I was still having the same
problems. I really have to face the fact that I am still
a beginner with IIS. I had a class in IIS several years
ago (IIS4). But I learn the most by fooling around with
it.
Thanks for the reply,

Did you stop & restart the IIS server after changing the
home directory?

Sorry in advance if I sound like I was freaking out.
So on the website Identification window, I was infact able
to change the home directory of the identifier to a
new "Home directory". Now I don't have the problems I was
having. However, the old directory is still locked. Maybe it
is an NTFS thing. I can't delete anything from this old
directory. Is it a windows thing? or is the old "Home
Directory" still connected to IIS?

Hello All,
I posted earlier about a problem I was having with
editing
or pasting/deleting files in the "Home Directory" of my
web server. I just noticed that the "Home Directory"
option in the "Home Directory" tab is grayed out. Why
would this be grayed out?
Would this be a configuration thing or a permissions
thing? I have an administrator account on this server
computer which I do development work on and is not
accessible outside the firewall of my company.
However,the I.T. dept maintains it (but I am the only user of
this
machine). So is there some setting I need to set in
IISmanager to endable the "Home Directory" or do I need to
contact I.T.? Note: I can create virtual directories
tomy heart's content. I just can't set the "Home
Directory". Any advice appreciated what I need to do
toenable the "Home Directory" option.
Thanks,
Ed
